Zero Waste Houston, LLC is a family-owned, small, sustainability business that operates out of The Woodlands, Texas.

 

Leo Brito originally started as founder & owner of a traditional landscaping company. After seeing that the current industry standards for lawn maintenance are not efficient & are actually designed to require continuous maintenance due to poor soil health, he knew he needed to do things differently.

​

He became a Texas Master Naturalist, a Master Composter, & a TRUE Zero Waste Advisor, turning his business into a landscaping company that specializes in Texas native landscapes & holistic soil & land management practices.

​

Creating his own nutrient dense compost from food waste became increasingly important to his successful business model, and the lack of food waste pick-up services in the community became strikingly obvious. So, he began optimizing his company’s resources to start a pilot food waste pick-up service in The Woodlands.

 

From there, Zero Waste Houston, LLC was born!  

​

Leo & his family are strong advocates for less waste & more efficient sustainable practices, so this business shift came naturally. They have pledged to do their part in reducing the burden on landfills, reducing greenhouse gases, soil regeneration, & bringing more general awareness of the ability of individual families to create less waste. Just doing their part to improve the environment for the next generation.
